How Can Cough And Sore Throat In An Infant Be Treated?

My 10 month old daughter has had a cough since the end of January. She s ok in herself most of the time but her through the sounds sore and she s also had conjunctivitis for the past week. I ve taken her to the doctors on numerous occasions and they ve said her chest just has mucus on it and send me away. They said I could give her calpol but surely she can t be having calpol everyday, it s been a long time!

Hi,

Thank you for consulting here. Greetings from Chennai. By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -

Questions:

1. How many days per month does your kid cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does your kid's sleep get disturbed due to the above symptoms?
3. Does your kid feel breathless when running around or playing with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is a cough always associated with fever?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
